The Perils of Alva’s Waterways
Alva’s beautiful waterways are a source of joy for many, but they can also be the scene of devastating accidents. From the Caloosahatchee River to the nearby Gulf of Mexico, boating accidents can happen in an instant, leaving victims with severe boating accident injuries and mounting medical bills.
Winning a boating accident case starts with getting the whole story of what happened to you and how the accident happened. Common causes of boating accidents include:
- Operator inattention or inexperience
- Excessive speed
- Alcohol use
- Equipment failure
- Hazardous water conditions
Understanding the cause of your accident is crucial in building a solid case. We need to prove that you were not the negligent party, the person at fault for your accident. As long as you are under 51% at fault, you can still get financial compensation under Florida law.

Our Alva Boating Accident Lawyers Get Compensation for Victims
The impact of a boating accident can be far-reaching, both financially and personally. Our lawyers can help you get the most compensation from your claim by calculating the total value of all your legal damages.
Some types of damages you may recover include:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
The damages you can recover will depend on the evidence in your case. We have to prove the value of your damages in the case of economic losses like boat repair and medical bills and argue for the value of non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
If you have lost a loved one in a boating accident, you may be eligible for damages unique to wrongful death claims. Our lawyers can help you make a wrongful death claim, but you must contact us quickly because these cases can get complicated.
